Ruby Archaeology
summary
A Vagrant box runs Ruby 1.8.7 via Vagrant box on a modern machine, pointing apt to archived 2008 packages and installing gems by downloading .gem files and using gem install --local. A tool portalgun to pin gem versions by date reconstructs old Gemfiles. Real 2008 code — Hpricot and 2008 Nokogiri commits — actually parse HTML, and a one-file Camping app with Markaby, RedCloth and ActiveRecord serves over ngrok, proving a full 2008 stack can be rebuilt and exposed.
